The 3DZone's Nina -- Sneak Peek-- 3

A couple of new Nina sneak peeks. Poser is still being a pill, so I had a rough time last night and this morning. I swear Poser has a mind of it's own sometimes. Any way, click each pic for a better look.

I really like how this first one turned out. I added a bit of a soft focus to it. The edges of the flower came out a bit sharp looking. I don't know how describe it other than that.



I'm really not very happy with this second one. As it is, this is the second incarnation of it, there was originally a different background set in here. I replaced the background set, and while I like it better with this, I really can't get the lighting to where I'm happy with it. I wanted to show the boy morph that's included though. Can't you just hear, "And where do you think you're going, little Mister?" LOL



I still have a few more. Maybe Poser will decide to be nice and they'll come together in the final stages and render well. If they do, I'll post them tomorrow.

The 3DZone's Nina -- Sneak Peek-- 2

Poser is being an absolute pill today, so I only have a couple new sneak peek pics of Nina. Click each pic for the uncompressed veiw.

I started this scene on Friday. It turned out cute. It probably could have used some more things in the distant background, but I don't have any gulls. I couldn't think of anything else.



Simple pic here. Nina with a backpack. Background is Predatron3d's "The Lounge." The backpack looks a bit big, but most kids these days seem to be traipsing around with bags that are too big for them. My sweater shader went a bit wonky... I kind of like it though.LOL Hair texture here is by me...



I still have a few more Nina scenes that are under construction, so I'll probably be back with them tomorrow if Poser and I can come to some sort of truce.

The 3DZone's Nina -- Sneak Peek--

I recently received an e-mail from The3DZone asking me if I'd like a sneak peek at Nina, an upcoming figure. What could I say except, "Yes!" Nina is so very adorable. I think toon fans are going to love her. I have 3DZ's permission to post pics. Click each pic to view it at full size.

This first pic is just a fae portrait (a quick warm up). I added a couple of ding shapes I made from a font (Manfred Klein's DingbumBats) using Font To Mesh Express Converter.



The second pic is Nina on Esha's Toon Terrace (available at RDNA). I made the pic look a digital postcard.



The captain found a little girl stowing away... She apparently doesn't quite understand there is definitely a difference between pirates and sailors.



Looks like someone got caught snoozin'....



I adore Nina so far. I think she has a sweet little face. I love the fact that she can wear Nana's clothes (except head gear). I'm not good at fitting hair to characters, but even I found it pretty easy to fit The3DZone's Toon Hair Kit 1 items to this wonderful little figure. I can't wait to play with this little cutie some more. She seems to have re-ignited my creative spark, so there will probably be more pics along the way. My thanks to The3DZone for giving me an opportunity to try her out!

Stuffed with Love - Toon Tiger Poses & Expressions

I made my own poses for LLF's sweet new toon tiger. The little cutie is so easy to pose, even I can do it. LOL I'm making them available for everyone. You'll need either Firecracker for Chip or Toon Animals: Tiger to use them. The set also includes some expressions (click pic for uncompressed version):
